What I am thankful for today:

That I did not forget the L in my username.

Crazy to think at this time last week how difference social media was...

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

Been talking to a lot of borrowers nervous about the on ramp to student loans.

On top of their other debts, they feel overwhelmed.

And they should. It is a lot going on.

Thankful for the opportunity to share my wisdom from my financial aid days.

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

@erikamcox @johnmarkmc I am so sorry.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

Highly focused people do not leave their options open. They select their priorities and are comfortable ignoring the rest. If you commit to nothing, you’ll be distracted by everything.

With student loan forgiveness not happening, it is time to start working your student loan payment back into your budget.

As a former financial aid director turned financial coach, I can help you navigate the student loan system and develop a plan for your payment.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Struggling in an area outside your comfort zone doesn't crush confidence. It motivates excellence.

Baseball data: after pitchers had unsuccessful at-bats, they were more likely to throw strikes & get the next hitter out.

Failing beyond your expertise can fuel success within it.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The saddest form of success is realizing that the goals you achieved weren't yours at all.

In the short run, pursuing other people's dreams earns approval. In the long run, it's a recipe for regret.

A meaningful purpose doesn't maximize your status. It matches your values.

@Dcollier74 Dan, so sorry to hear about your student.

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

Higher ed accomplishment I was most proud of: I never sent an email without the l in clock.

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

@Dcollier74 The biggest reason I left higher ed.

In fin aid, you can't
- limit the loans
- control what jobs people accept and what they pay.

I do not mind being held to high standards. I refuse to be held to impossible ones.

Plus industries were mainly cash (underreported).

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

@alliebidwell More surprised this didn't drop at 5pm ET next Friday. When I worked in financial aid, thatbis when all the major stuff happened.

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

As someone who worked in for-profit higher ed for a decade and did all of the reporting for five institutions - the gainful employment reporting is the #1 thing I do not miss about financial aid.

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

@SheridanFinAid @brianeno Happy Birthday!

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

@Dcollier74 Congratulations!

[Angie @ClockHourAngie]

Miss the people I met in financial aid.

Do not miss the work.

At.

All.

The problem of being scared and not taking risks: bad things still happen, good things never happen, you just end up more and more anxious as you get older.

[Orange Book 🍊📖 @orangebook]

People who are scared of taking risks usually tell themselves that they lack talent, money, connections, when they actually lack courage.
